This amendment is to open to interpretation. Make the requirements airtight. No editing of a vote or post. if the post says <edited, etc> at the bottom it is void. Also, let votes be deleted up until the booth closes, and allow voters to recast their vote until the booth closes. Lock the voting booth the second it closes and tally the votes then.

I agree.  If we allow posts to be edited then we'll be opening up a can of worms.  Unless somebody is paying close attention, we may not always be able to tell when the vote has been edited.  That part of the amendment may just be a prescription for more voting chaos as anytime a post has been edited it will have to proven whether or not the vote has been changed.  Better to say that if any post has been edited, the vote contained therein will not be counted.  That saves us all a lot of trouble.
But then allowing people to delete and recast?
That's absurd. By allowing that practice to stand, we've given up what the no-editing rule was supposed to be about anyhow. Same thing with the four-month rule and allowing people to reregister elsewhere under a new name.
Have an airtight rule, or don't have the rule.
